Building

Here you will find instructions on how to install the necessary tools for building and running the app.

Prerequisites

  • The only OS supported for building is Ubuntu 20.04. Advanced users may also be able to build on other Debian-based distributions like Fedora 37.
  • Android setup (Android Studio and subsequent dependencies)
  • 100 GB of storage

Install Android Studio following the instructions below before proceeding, then the following prerequisites can be installed with the setup script scripts/setup.sh or manually as described below:

Android Studio

Android Studio is the recommended IDE for development, not just for launching on Android devices and emulators but also for Linux desktop development.

Follow instructions here https://developer.android.com/studio/install#linux or install via snap:

# setup android studio
sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jdk
sudo snap install android-studio --classic

Use Tools > SDK Manager to install:

  • SDK Tools > Android SDK (API 30)
  • SDK Tools > NDK
  • SDK Tools > Android SDK command line tools
  • SDK Tools > CMake

Then in File > Settings > Plugins, install the Flutter plugin and restart the IDE. In File > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Flutter > Editor, enable auto format on save to match the project's code style. If you have problems with the Dart SDK, make sure to run flutter in a terminal to download it (use source ~/.bashrc to update your environment variables if you're still using the same terminal from which you ran setup.sh)

Make a Pixel 4 (API 30) x86_64 emulator with 2GB of storage space for emulation

Scripted setup

scripts/setup.sh is provided as a tool to set up installation for building: download the script and run it anywhere. This script should skip the entire Manual setup section below and prepare you for running. It will set up the stack_wallet repository in ~/projects/stack_wallet and build it there.

Manual setup

If you used the setup.sh script, skip to running

Install basic dependencies

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev curl unzip automake build-essential file pkg-config git python libtool libtinfo5 cmake libgit2-dev clang libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev zlib1g-dev llvm python3-distutils

The following may be needed for Android studio:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0:i386

Install Rust with command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
rustup install 1.68
rustup default 1.68

Install the additional components for Rust:

cargo install cargo-ndk --version 2.12.7

Android specific dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386
rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi i686-linux-android x86_64-linux-android

Linux desktop specific dependencies:

sudo apt-get install clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev liblzma-dev meson python3-pip libgirepository1.0-dev valac xsltproc docbook-xsl libsecret-1-dev
pip3 install --upgrade meson==0.64.1 markdown==3.4.1 markupsafe==2.1.1 jinja2==3.1.2 pygments==2.13.0 toml==0.10.2 typogrify==2.0.7 tomli==2.0.1

After installing the prerequisites listed above, download the code and init the submodules

git clone https://github.com/cypherstack/stack_wallet.git
cd stack_wallet
git submodule update --init --recursive

Run prebuild script

cd scripts
./prebuild.sh
// when finished go back to the root directory
cd ..

Remove pre-installed system libraries for the following packages built by cryptography plugins in the crypto_plugins folder: boost iconv libjson-dev libsecret openssl sodium unbound zmq. You can use

sudo apt list --installed | grep boost

for example to find which pre-installed packages you may need to remove with sudo apt remove. Be careful, as some packages (especially boost) are linked to GNOME (GUI) packages: when in doubt, remove -dev packages first like with

sudo apt-get remove '^libboost.*-dev.*'

Building plugins for Android

Warning: This will take a long time, please be patient

cd scripts/android/
./build_all.sh
// when finished go back to the root directory
cd ../..

Building plugins for Linux

cd scripts/linux/
./build_all.sh
// when finished go back to the root directory
cd ../..

Running

Android

Plug in your android device or use the emulator available via Android Studio and then run the following commands:

flutter pub get
flutter run android

Note on Emulators: Only x86_64 emulators are supported, x86 emulators will not work

Linux

Plug in your android device or use the emulator available via Android Studio and then run the following commands:

flutter pub get Linux
flutter run linux
